Waking for four-thirty and organize for work, alighting the stairs for five-fifteen seeing her on the couch asleep and the library door was open.
Checking the room seeing it was completely painted. 'Did she work the entire night?' Wondering when she finish praying.
Alex thought she went to sleep but she couldn't sleep, so it means she painted the library with her time.'
Seven-o-clock the doorbell ring Diandra wake up and went to open the door, while entering through the door seeing some fine holes on the front door.
"Johnny, will you check this door and did you make arrangement for the two extra workers?"
"I will get someone to check the door right away Madam, and yes, they will be here anytime now."
Entering the house he realized that she seems to be in a rush to complete the work, has something happen between she and Mr. Mellford? I sense a coolness in her greetings.
Observing the library seeing the job was perfectly well done, he has nothing more to do in the room. "It seems as though you work for the whole weekend, but it looks really good."
"Did I miss any spot?"
"If you recall I had offered you a job."
"Yes, you did and the offer sounds wonderful but my life is full." Instructing Johnny what work she expected to be complete for the day then went and get her clothes then head up to Alex's room.
Taking a long shower then change and sit with the bible. Then she prayed for Sam, Maria, and Champ that all arrangements for traveling will be arranged without any setbacks. Then Diandra lies down and pulls the covers.
Johnny calls Alex with his concerns, as Alex listens then he asks, "Is she hurt? Okay, but please be patient with her, yesterday she received some bad news.
And Mr. Alvin, she wants to see the work in the house complete before the weekend.
Look she works the entire night trying to finish the library, so she will be a bit irritable, please bear a bit until I reach."
Walking through the door Alex felt sorry for the men, calling out to her "Hi there, aren't you tired? I notice you work the whole of last night, so I decided to threat you."
"The rate things are going here, they will never complete this work for Friday."
"Come on, and don't worry I will have a few free days next week, so if the work isn't completed by Friday they could come and finish it those few days.
Now, I bought you your favorite flavor ice cream." Holding her hand, "Come on, let us go and relax."
Noticing it's chocolate Diandra said, "Alex, you didn't get yourself any ice cream."
"Yes, my dear, this is chocolate and this here is cherry vanilla for me, oh and Diandra have you already selected the curtains, I wanted to see what you have selected?"
"Oh my good Lord, that completely slip my mind," running to get the catalog, Alex follows her hearing she calls out to Johnny, "Johnny, where are the catalog?"
Hearing him say, "In the office."
Taking up the catalog reaching the hall, Alex heard her speaking to Johnny in a rough tone, "Johnny, didn't I asked earlier that the office should be cleared?"
"Yes, ma'am." Johnny looks at Alex when Alex said to her, "Come with me, I will help you select the curtain."
Ushering her out of the hall and up to his room then close the door, "My goodness this place is hot, let me put the AC on," Alex said.
Helping her to remove the cover from the ice cream container, then place it in her hand, "Now eat this, and try to relax."
Noticing her rest it on the bedside table and went to wash her hands. When she returned to the bed she had passed a comb at the front of her head after removing the scarf and wash her face.
When I think she was going to eat the ice cream, she asks, "Alex, why are you home?"
"I have a few hours and have to report back to work for seven, just for two hours so I wanted to get some rest."
"But you have your room at the office, here will have so much noise how will you rest."
"Diandra, I thought of you seeing how humid the place was, so I thought you will like the ice cream and now, you are just allowing it to melt."
"Sorry, and thank you for thinking about me."
When she was about to get off the bed, "Sweetheart never minds the sheet I will remove it after."
Seeing how she enjoys the ice cream, then she lies down relaxing as she browses through the magazine.
Lying next to her as we view it together. Seeing her yawn a few times, but she had selected a beautiful pattern with cream and brown for the hall.
"Alex, what color paint you want in your room?"
"I will leave that up to your discretion, you are doing a fantastic job everything is looking really beautiful."
"Alex!"
"Err!"
"I am so sorry about my behavior yesterday."
"That's all right I understand that you were worried about your friend's welfare. Now, what do you like for the kitchen and bedroom."
When she keeps yawning, Alex stretches his hand resting it under her shoulder causing her head to rest on his shoulder.
Looking on as she selected a few, asking for his opinion but instead Alex ask, "Diandra, when I have to report to work will you join me for the two hours?"
"I am sorry Alex, that will not be appropriate."
"But honey, no one will say anything."
"That's not the problem, Alex it is not a good example to set for the workers, and they look up to you and if you break the rules, how can you correct them?"
"You are right, I was only thinking about the company, but then the others might get distracted if they have company at the job site."
Alex notices the tiredness around her eyes and she looks so worn out yet she wants to be in the midst to instruct the work.
Stroking her hand, thinking, 'If she sleeps it will help her, and the men won't be so afraid of her constant interruptions to fix something.
When her hand drops the catalog, Alex, realized she has fallen asleep, "That's my girl."
